Max admitted it, but not completely.
He half-truthfully told Zhu Shijiu and others that he was keenly aware that the US officials were conducting a dangerous secret experiment. Then, out of his inner sense of justice, he stole the core secrets of the insect-man research program and fled to Papua New Guinea.
In the insect-man research incident, he portrayed himself as a victim, emphasizing that the Papua New Guinea military forced and tortured him to hand over the insect-man research plan, and he was eventually forced to hand over the core content of the insect-man research plan.
"In order to better monitor me and prevent me from leaking this matter, the military made me a military advisor. In fact, it was to better control me..."
"So you're saying that all of this is the responsibility of the Papua New Guinea military and that you are at best a victim?" Haagen-Dazs asked.
Max was a little embarrassed: "… That's right. Although it sounds unbelievable, I'm not lying."
Haagen-Dazs could almost tell at a glance that Max was still lying.
Maybe there is some truth in it, but judging from Max's reaction, he is definitely not being completely honest. And once you hear this confession, you can tell that Max is trying to shirk his responsibility by portraying himself as a victim.
"Then I have a question." Haagen-Dazs asked seriously, "Why didn't the Papua New Guinea military kill you after they got the core content of the insect man research plan from you?"
Max originally thought that his lies were enough to deal with these black soldiers, but when he heard Haagen-Dazs's questioning, Max was suddenly speechless.
"Considering the overall power gap between Papua New Guinea and the United States and the Black Soldier Organization, it is hard to imagine that they would have the courage to spare your life. So one thing I am curious about is why they didn't kill you? Aren't they worried that you would resist or leak the secret?"
In Haagen-Dazs's view, this is the biggest loophole in the process described by Max.
"This..." Beads of cold sweat appeared on Max's forehead.
Jingzhi watched Max being questioned and couldn't help but glance at Zhu Shijiu. He thought, is this the method your chess club has prepared
However, Max's next remarks directly pierced through all of Thorn's doubts.
“… I didn’t want to say it, but… oh well.”
Max's eyes were full of resentment, and there was an indelible hatred deep in his eyes. He sighed after hesitating for a while.
"In fact, General Woodick is a gay."

"… What does this mean?" Although Haagen-Dazs guessed what Max was going to say in an instant, he was still prepared to let Max say it himself.
Max was confused and asked, "Do you really want me to say it out loud?"
Haagen-Dazs said calmly, "We don't accept any hints or confessions that carry the slightest ambiguity. The video equipment is still on, and everything you say will become a first-hand confession. We can't judge the meaning behind your confession with subjective speculation."
Max's expression suddenly became depressed. "Okay, I'll tell you what I'm saying. That bastard Woodick fell in love with my face and butt almost the first moment he saw me. He forced me to have sex with him..."
Haagen-Dazs interrupted, "Having sex? Explain clearly."
Max couldn't believe it: "Having sex...does this need to be explained?"
"No explanation is needed in general, but now you are giving your confession. So you need to explain it clearly. To what extent did he violate your body? Was this violation an act of coercion? Did you hand over the insect research plan only after he violated you? After you became a staff officer, did you continue to compromise with this violation? Did you cooperate with the military because you didn't want to be violated by him? After being violated, did you provide the military with more undisclosed intelligence? You..."
Haagen-Dazs said a lot of things in a row, which made Max dumbfounded.
He never thought there were so many details and so many questions to ask.
What Max didn't know was that the reason Haagen-Dazs pressed the issue so hard was, on the one hand, because he wanted to get to the bottom of the matter, and on the other hand, to confirm the truth of the matter.
When Max talked about his experience of being sexually assaulted, his micro-expressions revealed his true state.
What Max said was true.
There were a lot of half-truths and half-fictions before, but none of them were as real as the fact that he was violated. To make sure he was not making a mistake, he forced Max to tell him more details about the incident.
Sure enough, Max began to cry bitterly, and like a real victim, he recounted in detail how he was violated by General Woodick.
The sincerity of the words made those who heard them cry... Unfortunately, the black soldiers were all emotionless monsters, and Zhu Shijiu had heard it countless times, but his heart remained unchanged.
So after Max sobbed and recounted all the details, Haagen-Dazs asked calmly, "Are you done?"
"Uh... that's all."
The sympathy card didn't work.
Max couldn't help but smile bitterly when he realized this.
But he had explained the general situation clearly enough, and Haagen-Dazs had recorded it completely.
Thanks to Max's cooperative attitude, the interrogation process went quite smoothly, and the results did not surprise Jingzhi's expectations - as expected, the existence of the chess club was completely wiped out, without any trace left.
And at the end of the interrogation, they will ask one last question.
"So Max, do you know how to shut down the institute?"
"How to close the research institute?" Max's eyes lit up!
He knew this too well! His data was stored inside the institute, including most of the experimental data in which he personally participated in supervising the projects. These data could not be easily seen, otherwise it would increase the crime. He was originally worried that the black soldiers wanted to break into the laboratory, but he didn't expect that the black soldiers just wanted to close the institute!
This is great.
Max asked, "Can I ask you a question? How did you open the institute?"
Haagen-Dazs shook his head: "We didn't open it." Then he looked at Zhu Shijiu and Jing Ji, the two who were the first discoverers.
Jing Zhi and Zhu Shijiu naturally shook their heads: "It wasn't us who did it."
Don’t expect to see micro-expressions on the black soldiers’ faces. The theory of human micro-expressions does not apply to black soldiers.

Haagen-Dazs had no way of judging whether what Jingzhi and Zhu Shijiu said was true or not, but he did not doubt it too much. After all, they were illegal soldiers, and elite illegal soldiers at that, and they would never do such a thing.
"That's strange. How did the insect man escape from the research institute?"
Max muttered something, and at the same time he began to suspect other senior military officials, but he had no way of inferring the truth. In the end, he could only shake his head and said to everyone, "If you just want to close the institute, there is a forced blocking device on the negative first floor of the institute. It requires iris and fingerprint authentication from senior military officials, and you also need to enter a thirteen-digit password..."
Haagen-Dazs interrupted Max directly: “Can you pass the certification
Max nodded without hesitation: "Yes!"
No risk, no gain. In order to cut off the possibility of the black soldiers obtaining his information, he was ready to take a risk and enter the research institute with these black soldiers!
But before that, the Black Soldiers need to form a team to ensure that they can escort Max to the negative first floor of the institute! Facing a large number of Zergmen, the ability of this Black Soldiers team must be guaranteed.
During the entire interrogation, Zhu Shijiu did not say a single extra word, but at this time, he stood up and said lightly.
"Count me in."
